Sell without cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not need to clean the house, repair fire or smoke damage, or remove damaged materials before selling to us. Tell us what you already know about the damage; do not enter an unsafe or restricted structure to gather details.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.

Close through a title company
If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company. Read the written terms before deciding.
Billings safety, permits, and county records
If officials have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe, stay out and follow directions for that property from fire and building officials, utility providers, and your insurer. Before cleanup, repairs, debris removal, or demolition, ask the office responsible for the address what applies to the planned work. Do not assume a permit, inspection, or safety status from another property applies to yours.
- Building safety and permits: For a property within Billings city limits, start with the City of Billings official website to find the appropriate city contact and ask what applies to the address and planned work.
- Recorded county documents: The Yellowstone County Recorder records-search service is a starting point for recorded documents. It is not a building-safety or permit determination.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are weighing rebuilding against a sale, compare written contractor estimates and debris-removal costs with the time and expense of keeping the house while work is underway. Include any carrying costs you expect, and confirm claim and mortgage requirements with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
The Billings calculator can help compare possible sale proceeds using your own planning numbers. It is not a contractor's repair quote or an insurance decision; use actual estimates for the work and verify the terms that apply to your property.
